The official promotional video from the Sussex Press Agency of the East Sussex Fire and Rescue Fire Bike. The vehicle is designed to promote rider safety in the county and encourage riders to enrol on the Bike Safe courses.
@henrymarkstewart10 at 70mph they've thrashed the speed of an urban fire truck. If they crash with that kinda weight and crap on the back, or if they crash at all they're screwed and then the rider can't help the situation he's responding to.
umm why are the fire service spending money on this?

@ElQuesoGuapo yup, but well spent in a good design that works and has the potential to save thousands of lives.

big tip from me is make sure you have a mobile with you when you go on a ride and the number of a brakedown service

what is the point of a fireblade if you are going to ride within the law?
bikes like these are designed to be ridden hard and fast, not at 70mph barely leaning over and gently braking nonsense
GHOST RIDER shows what 1000cc bikes are for!
more lives would be saved if we were taught how to ride very quickly at speeds well above the ridicilous 70mph limit!

This has done it for me. Take a BikeSafe course and possibly get a reduction on your bike insurance.

Very good video. These guys could do an excellent job here in Spain. The riders here are worse than the British ones!!
